The Open 10.000 MEDIUM | AMCO is already turning Vila Nova de Famalicão into a true padel stage. Since the tournament kicked off on Tuesday, the atmosphere at A-Z Padel Famalicão has been electric, both on and off the court.
With over 300 registered players from all over the country, the first few days have been marked by intense matches, lively stands, and a strong sense of community and passion for the sport.
“We’re experiencing a true celebration of padel. The number of players exceeded expectations, and the community’s support has been incredible,” says Jorge Gonçalves, CEO of A-Z Padel. “This proves Famalicão is ready to host top-level events.”
A court in the heart of the city
One of the standout features is the main court installed right in the city centre, which has caught the attention of passers-by, families, and sports fans alike. With free entry, the court brings padel to everyone and reflects A-Z Padel’s goal of blending sport with city life.
“Setting up a court downtown was a strategic move,” explains Vítor Hugo, Head of Marketing at A-Z Padel. “We want padel to be experienced by players, but also by those walking by, who feel the energy of the event. It’s all about real connection with the city.”
Partnerships that elevate the game
The success of this tournament is also thanks to the support of key partners like MEDIUM and AMCO, the event’s main sponsors.
“We believe in supporting projects that bring people together, promote healthy lifestyles and energise the local economy,” said a spokesperson from AMCO. “This tournament combines all of that.”
What’s next?
The coming days promise even more excitement, with the final rounds approaching and the crowd growing steadily. The finals will be held on Sunday, July 13, on the central court, and a full house is expected.
